  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Limited Edition Compact Disc..

    Product description: Full colour artwork with full colour label. Bifold sleeve with spine. Includes shrink wrap.

    The third album from versatile duo Oka Vanga blends a rich palette of strings, frets, and percussion with a foot stomping groove.

    Strong energetic guitar lines are framed with intricate threads of mandolin and ukulele to create a colourful set of eight songs and four instrumental traditional tunes that have good pace and variety. From the authentic groove of 'Beneath The Apple Tree', to the high energy of 'Seek & Run' Angie has a timeless voice that lends itself to the authenticity of her song writing and emotive lyrics.
    Bows Of Yew is a visceral nod to their folk roots whilst the quiet artisan beauty of Johanna is offset by the foot-stomping free-wheeling Whisky For Sorrow.
    Joyously vibrant, the self-titled album benefits from tracks mixed by LA producer Thomas Johansen and mastered by GRAMMY Award-Winning Mastering Engineer Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound. Recorded at Unit Studios by Nick Kuzoch, all but four of the tracks were completed before Covid lockdown. Undaunted by Covid restrictions the duo Angie & Will rigged up their spare room to record themselves and completed the album on schedule.

    Stellar contributions from guest musicians Patsy Reid (violin, viola, cello) and John Parker (double bass) frame the album and there is a subtle mix of musical influences that gives Angie and Will's new album an exciting edge.

    Released by Crazy Bird Records, OKA VANGA is due for official release on 26th March 2021 available on both CD and 12" Vinyl.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Oka Vanga via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

BENEATH THE APPLE TREE
I wanna dance with you to a song we can sing. Float our dreams tied with love as string. I wanna hold your hand, beneath the Apple Tree. Stars of gold above our head, stars beneath our feet, music in our pocket, sipping cider sweet and I know it’s only you and me. Devil on my shoulder, taking all my hope, better off alone. The night I that I met you, the moonlight made him blind. Fate was on our side and all the signs were bold, moonshine cold , music in the air. London old time, midnight so right, only you and me. I wanna dance with you to a song we can sing, float our dreams tied with love as string. I wanna hold your hand, beneath the Apple Tree.

"This song is influenced by the ancient folklore of apple trees, associated with love and health. I wrote this song for Will whilst recovering from surgery just as the first lockdown started in 2020, inspired by a overgrown orchard of old apple trees we sometimes walk through on our daily ramble."
